Good article, even if it is a tad BN ish with Xg and so on.
More interestingly is the should we sack BR comments.

Ya ****er - now my cards are all over the floor!Just turn your phone upside down.
So, until this season, we have been overachieving. Who was it first suggested that?
I always pictured you with a rotary phone.Ya ****er - now my cards are all over the floor!
Dirty boy.Total xG from our first 4 PL matches = 3.35 (only Bournemouth have a lower total after 4 games)
Total goals scored = 6
Our top player for xG so far is Vardy with 1.04. The only other 3 players who have decent opportunities are Castagne, Maddison and Fofana(!).
In terms of creativity, we have 4 players that have made an impact with 'key passes' - Iheanacho, Perez, Maddison and Tielemans.
Total xG against from our first 4 PL matches = 6.93
Total goals conceded = 10 (Forest and Everton have conceded half the goals we have despite opponents having more xG against than us)
Based on xG, we deserved to lose 0-1 at home to Brentford, lose 3-1 at Arsenal, 0-1 against Southampton and draw 2-2 at Chelsea. So we have earned our one point!
Our lack of creativity in those two home games is pretty obvious.
We've already tried 6 different formations with 218 minutes using a back 4 and 161 with a 3/5. Our attacking and defending doesn't appear any better or worse whatever system we play.
We've scored 2 and conceded 2 in the first halves of matches. We've scored 4 and conceded 8 in the second halves. We've allowed opponents the same number of shots after 60 mins (22) as we have in the first 60 (22). We're losing matches in the last half an hour, especially when we've been making changes.
Based on xG, Leicester, Forest and Bournemouth are the worst three teams in the league.
Nothing to worry about here, you bunch of bedwetters. Isn’t that right, Pop?Total xG from our first 4 PL matches = 3.35 (only Bournemouth have a lower total after 4 games)

Once again, you fail to see the gap between saying everything is rosey and declaring the club are a gnat's snatch away from dissolving.Nothing to worry about here, you bunch of bedwetters. Isn’t that right, Pop?
Lenny Kravitz's cock
I love your way with words.Once again, you fail to see the gap between saying everything is rosey and declaring the club are a gnat's snatch away from dissolving.
If you could stop milling around like a miserable **** with a chip the size of Lenny Kravitz's cock on your shoulder, simply because you have an obsession about a football manager, you might see your way clear to think about it for a moment or two.
No idea if it’s true…
Once Chelsea went down to 10 men, you could see their bench telling Havertz and Stirling to stay out wide to cover off our full backs, leaving Evans and Armartey with on one to markI can well believe it.
MA mentioned something in the Chelsea thread that helps to explain. Essentially, our opponents allow our weak players to have possession without challenge because they trust that they won't do anything with it.
For example, Chelsea were very happy to leave Amartey in space as the 'spare' man when they were down to 10 men. Amartey carried the ball into space again and again but didn't know what to do with the ball.
They also allowed Justin time and space wide knowing that he couldn't cross with his left foot so he'd come inside every time. It's what smart opponents do.
